iCollege
- If you need to use a standard GPC Online template, GPC Online will request a section for you. Contact GPC Online for information
- If you need to use another faculty member's section
- If you wish to use an epack, which are templates provided by a publisher
- If you are not able to be assigned to your section via the SIS/Banner
- If you want a place, a "Building Section", other than a real teaching section to create course materials. You might want to request a building section to work in if you are developing a course for the first time and your "teaching" sections aren't available in iCollege yet. We recommend that all math faculty that use MyMathLab start with a building section that includes the appropriate MyMathLab epack.
iCollege may be used by any faculty or staff to support the classes they teach and the services they offer students. iCollege is not limited to use by online classes. Georgia Perimeter College encourages the use of iCollege in all classes regardless of the manner in which instruction is delivered.
